"sarcophagus" means literally flesh

peculiar kind of stone of which the an

of limestone, and is claimed had the

are of yellow, gray, silver or red tinseI,
and dot the sticks as well as the cause.
Wide white linen collars turned over
from the tops are square-cornered and
hemstitched an inch above the edges,
and are worn by young ladies with
summer toilets Of chamberg or bingham
in the beautiful new colors.
Wide neckties of dotted, striped or
plain colors bias India silk are worn
with linen collars, tied in carelesslooking
throat bows,
Green leather bags, belts, and port
monnaies are shown at Ridley's. This
green is light in tint, and has raised
designs like those Of repousse' silver.
Small short curls are again worn on
the back Of the hair, sometimes with a
Psyche knot or coil, or sometimes com
posing the entire back of the couture.
Round hats supersede bonnets to a
great extent IN midsummer millinery.
The present pet corset is the watch
spring LA sPIRITE, which is simply
perfect in point of construction.
New hats from London have beef
eater crowns.
Bracelets are very slender, and
differ in design, odd ones being prefer
red to pairs.
All the wash dresses shown at leading
stores have steels put into the skirts;
but ladies who superintend their own
wardrobes have petticoats made of
striped dimity or of coarse muslin.
These have cord bars that will readily
take and hold starch, and arrange this
stiff stuff in back founces' 1t is worn
as an under petticoat which, when tied
back gives the effect of long tournure.

EDITOR REPoRTER:-It has been some
time since l wrote my last letter to
your paper: and since then many
changes have been wrought in the
appearance of this county.
Instead Of seeing broad fields of
ripening grain, we now see the starch
waiting for the thrashing machine. In
some cases the grain is yet standing.
A novel machine has lately been
introduced out here called the Header"
which 81 q great saving over the
Grinder" in time, labor and expense.
Being cut and stacked for less then the
cost of shocking it after it is. all ready
cut otherwise.
The 'Header" is run by four horses
and unlike any other of the farm
machinery it (the harvesting part is in
front of the horses and not behind, and
it is guided by a rudder something after
the manner of boat. The cut of one
of these machines is from twelve to
twenty feet, and will cut over from thirty
to forty acres per day according to the
width of the Header" In two years
more, if the grain keeps in the stack,
there will be but a few binders used in
the wheat fields of this county.
Last Saturday, Geo. Keyes, John
Tincumfelter and myself took q trip up
in the Coteanh hills, distant about two
miles from Lorraine. They are two
thousand feet above sea level and on
the outskirts very rugged and hard Of
access except in the revines or gulches
which are very numerous in this section
After You travel in them for about five
miles they become more level and not
50 rugged.
They are well adapted for grazing and
large numbered cattle men have taken
up claims in them on the banks of
small lakes which are scattered through
out them and afford good supply Of
water the year around but the extreme
dry weather they have been having for.
the past two years are drying Inem up
considerably. These lakes afford fine
chance for sports-men as they aboundin
ducks and geese and hunter can get
a goodly number in the fall and spring
of the year.
4 few buffaloes were killed in the
hills last winter, when they came to eat
around the hay-stacks, but as yet have
not seen any. They are nearly extinct
in this locality where four years ago
they were quite plentiful.
The most of the revines were
quite heavily timbered but have
been nearly all cut off for fire wood with
the exceptions of few which have
been preserved as picnic grounds and
are very pleasant. Yours truly.

mostly those who are the best adver-
Users, proof that it paws to advertise
where they know how. There are
many kinds of advertising, sign or a
picture card is one kind of advertising,
but not the best by any means. Some
merchants who do not think it pays to
advertise in a paper because it costs a
little something, will pay as much again
III the course Of a year as it would cost
to run good live advertisement in a
paper year, for lot of picture cards,
or to some fellow who happens to come
along getting up a directory" or
writing up" the town, when neither
one probably will be worth to him what
the powder would cost to blow it up.
Cards are soon scattered and gone, a
directory" will not probably be read
by dozen persons, the writing up"
and issuing an extra lot of papers to be
sent out to those who don't take a
county paper dosen't amount to shucks,
for nlnety-nine cases out of a hundred,
that class of people who do not take one
or more county papers, their trade is
not worth having. Besides none of
these plans will reach as many persons
as a weekly paper does in the course Of
a year, and all would read the same
instead OF having change when ever
wanted. There is no doubt that live
newspaper advertising will bring the
best results. But what and how to
advertise is something that should
occupy the attention of advertising
merchants more than it does. If
merchants in general paid as much
attention to the issuing of their adver-
tisements as they do to some other parts
Of their business, they would increase
their business from 80 to 100 per cent,
and they certainly should, for the more
attractive an advertisement is written
the better will be the results. A lawyer
or a doctor does not want a three-columu
advertisement, nor does q clothing or
dry goods merchant want an inch adj
vertisement. An advertisement should
be made according to the business and
how prominent they wish TO make what
they have to say. This is the way the
live advertising merchants do in the
large cities, and relying on reports Of
what they have said, one Of their most
successful ways is also to illustrate their
advertisements.

JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING.

The best investment for money we
know of is in Judicious advertising.
Some business men throw money away
in all manner Of schemes, and then tell
you that advertising does not pay, when
they have never advertised at all.
Apropos to the above we quote an
article from the Cassopolis Democrat
which contains a good deal of solid
truth:
Judicious advertising is the keystone
to success. There is no question about
that But what is judicious advertising?
That IS question that should be con-
sidered by every business man in the
country. You will sometimes hear a
merchant say that it doesn't pay to
advertise, when the facts in the case
probably are he dosen't know how TO
advertise judiciously and make it pay.
The leading merchants in all towns are
